2015 is here.

Well, I know the year's here and all that jazz. So recently I have been looking forward for a few things that are happening in 2015.

So first, the new Los Bungalitos shows that are happening including a radio set in February, followed by a tour to Puerto Rico and also getting a show on the way back with Hollow Earth, which happens to be one of my favorite bands out there currently. Also thinking about recording again this year, which would rule.

Another thing that I find really awesome is the fact that between a few friends, we managed to get this group going challenging ourselves for reading the most books in 2015. I read a book in a day, which was awesome, and I started a second waaaay longer book.

Talking about the book challenge brings me to the first book I read, and already mentioned in the paragraph above. It was a book about the Dead Kennedys. One of the first bands that I got into as I was learning all about punk rock and hardcore music. The book is about pretty much the early years until about some time after they released their amazing (and best album in my opinion) Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables. It is a quick read, and you can do it (depending on how much time you have at hand to pleasure read) in about a day or three, if you are a quick reader. The narrative is engaging, although the author, I believe is British, so I had a little bit of a hard time in the beginning. For certainly a good read if you're in to the punk rock.

I mean as of right now things have been slow, but I hope for them to pick up and do a bunch more things. One thing I learned in the last couple of days was that Brujería is putting out a new record in this year, and I just hope for it to be good. I loved the last record, but it wasn't as good as their previous releases. But for bands putting out stuff this year, they are one of the ones that I am looking forward to the most.

I also learned that Fantagraphic Books is releasing a Hip Hop Family Tree Vol.3 this year. That's exciting for me. I mean, I have Volume 1 and I started reading it, but I have not finished it yet because of other books, and I have been wanting Volume 2, and now 3, but they're really expensive comics, and unfortunately right now I can't afford it. I think this is going to be a good year for comic books. And I was thinking on revising the one I was writing, or even maybe do it in crime novel format rather than in comic book format.

Looking forward to the Hardcore Bowl this year because Crumbsuckers is playing, and even though there are some cool bands playing I just hope it doesn't become boring. I mean I did skip last year's bowl, but I still hope I can make it this year. The Black And Blue Bowl is one of my favorite times of the year. And I am going to be more into writing in here for your enjoyment. Hopefully you'll appreciate it.

By the way, that Into the Woods movie... it rules.
